In order the clear the air over an incident that goes public, celebrities once chose the press conference, the open letter to the editor, the full-page ad — heck, even the "60 Minutes" or the extended interview. Beyoncé — wife to Jay Z, sister to Solange, mother to all female pop stars — chose a different route by releasing a remix of her song "Flawless" featuring Nicki Minaj on Saturday night (Aug. 2) on her website, according to multiple media reports including Huffington Post.

In the remix, Queen Bey references the once-infamous, now-who-cares "elevator scuffle" between her husband and her sister in May after the Met Gala. The key rapped lyric for all to examine: "Of course sometimes (stuff) goes down when there's a billion dollars on an elevator." (Somewhere, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett are rapping in unison, "I know right?") At another point, Bey say, "You can say what you want. I'm the (let's go with 'bees knees')."

Of course, the lyric is one of several laced throughout the song — underscored by more than a bit of potty-mouth — including Nicki Minaj positing herself as the rap, "Slaying with Queen Bey." In fact, she kind of takes over the song at one point, as the New York Daily News notes, with such snappy lines as "Like MJ's doctor, they're killing me: propofol. I know they hope I fall, but tell them winning is my (expletive) protocol."
